Program Conversion Overview When loading a program from the PC3K or PC3, the program will sound the same on the SP4 aside from the following limitations. The SP4 has 64 voice polyphony and cannot play as many notes at the same time compared the to the 128 voice polyphony of the PC3K and PC3. The SP4 cannot load some effects from the PC3K or PC3 if they use more than 10 DSP units. The SP4 does not load samples. If you load a PC3K program that contains user samples, keyranges that contain user samples will not play properly. When loading a program from the PC3LE, the program will sound the same on the SP4.

Page 4: Program Mode And Setup Mode
SP4 V2 Addendum Program Mode and Setup Mode Program Mode and Setup Mode The Save Button The Save button is used to save edited programs and setups to the Program mode or Setup mode User‐bank (see the SP4 Musician’s Guide for details). New in the V2 OS is the ability to delete single User‐bank programs and setups by using the Save button. To delete a User‐bank program or setup, first select the program or setup that you wish to delete in the User‐bank of Program mode or Setup mode. Next, press the Save button, then press the Chan/Param up button twice. The display will read “Delete xxx ?” (xxx will be the ID number of the program or setup being deleted). To finish, press the Next button below the display and the program or setup will be deleted. The display will show the ID number of the program or setup that was deleted followed by “Empty”. Deleting User‐bank programs and setups is useful in combination with the new “Load (fill)” dialogue (see The “Load (fill)” Dialogue on page 4 for details.) For example, you could delete certain User‐bank programs and setups that you no longer use by using the Save button, then use the “Load (fill)” dialogue to load previously saved User‐bank programs and setups into the Empty User‐bank IDs. Group Favorites Using The Group Select Buttons In Program mode and Setup mode, you can browse through groups of eight programs or eight ... -
Page 5: Edit Setup Mode
SP4 V2 Addendum Edit Setup Mode Edit Setup Mode The Zone Specific Parameters Aux Send Level The Aux Send Level parameter determines the send level for the auxiliary effects of the currently selected Zone. You can select any level from 0 to 127. Pressing both Value buttons simultaneously will set this parameter to 20. New in the V2 OS, you can now set the Aux Send Level parameter to ‐1. A setting of ‐1 sets the Aux Send Level to use the value originally used by the program in Program mode. This is a convenient way to set a good Aux Send Level if you are unsure of what level to set. For a description of the auxiliary effects of a Setup, see About Auxiliary Effects on page 8‐14 and Common Parameters on page 8‐14 of the SP4 Musician’s Guide. Global Mode Global Mode Stored Parameters Global mode contains parameters that allow you to customize the overall performance and MIDI settings of the SP4 (see Chapter 9 in The SP4 Musician’s Guide for details on each Global mode parameter). Some Global mode parameters (such as tuning) are reset to a default setting each time the SP4 is turned on. For other Global mode parameters, the SP4 remembers the setting you choose and stores your settings in the SP4. To store settings for Global mode parameters, you must exit Global mode by pressing one of the Program, Setup, or Edit Setup Function buttons. Global mode settings are saved when exiting Global mode. Stored Global mode settings will be used by the SP4 the next time the SP4 is powered on. The following Global mode parameters are stored in the SP4: • Velocity Map (VMap) •... - Page 6 Note: The “Load (overwrite)” dialogue deletes all User‐bank programs and setups in the SP4. Before using the “Load (overwrite)” dialogue, make sure to save a backup copy of any User‐ bank programs and setups in the SP4 that you would like to save using the “Save All” dialogue (see page 9‐7 of the SP4 Musician’s Guide for details). To begin the loading process, first turn on the SP4 and your computer, then connect a USB cable from the SP4’s rear panel USB port to a USB port on your computer. Next, with “Load (overwrite)” selected, press the Next Value button below the display. A temporary drive named “SP4” will mount on the computer and the SP4 display will show “Put the file to be loaded into the temporary drive”. Pressing Previous will cancel the load operation and recall the “Load (overwrite)” dialogue. Pressing Next will load the file and the display will show “File loaded”. If no file is in the SP4 temporary drive during the load, the display will show the message “Nothing loaded”. If an error occurs during the load operation, then the display will show the error message “Load Error”. If the SP4 is not connected to a computer, the display will show the error message “Please connect the unit to the computer”. Pressing Previous will recall the “Load (overwrite)” dialogue— pressing Next will retry to connect. The “Load (fill)” Dialogue The “Load (fill)” dialogue allows you to load previously saved SP4 User‐bank programs and setups from an .SPX file. The SP4 can also load saved programs and/or setups from the Kurzweil PC3K, PC3, and PC3LE from .P3K, .PC3, and .PLE files respectively. Before loading a program or setup from a .P3K, .PC3, or .PLE file, read the sections below for details on properly saving and loading files as well as details on program and setup conversion. The “Load (fill)” dialogue only loads to unused ID numbers in the SP4’s User banks and does not delete any existing programs or setups in the SP4’s User banks. Files can be loaded to the SP4 from a computer via USB. To begin the loading process, first turn on the SP4 and your computer, then connect a USB cable from the SP4’s rear panel USB port to a USB port on your computer. Next, with “Load (fill)” selected, press the Next Value button below the display. A temporary drive named “SP4” will mount on the computer and the SP4 display will show “Put the file to be loaded into the temporary drive”. Pressing Previous will cancel the load operation and recall the “Load (fill)” dialogue. Pressing Next will load the file and the display will show “File loaded”. If no file is in the SP4 temporary drive during the load, the display will show the message “Nothing loaded”. If an error occurs during the load operation, then the display will show the error message “Load Error”. If the SP4 is not connected to a computer, the display will show the error message “Please connect the unit to the computer”. Pressing Previous will recall the “Load (fill)” dialogue— pressing Next will retry to connect.
